👉 Durham Math, also known as the "Durham Method" or "Durham's Approach," is a set of mathematical techniques and notations developed by the American mathematician John C. Durham in the 1950s. It emphasizes a more intuitive and visual understanding of mathematics, particularly algebra and geometry, by focusing on patterns, symmetries, and geometric interpretations. Durham introduced the concept of "Durham's Notation," which simplifies complex algebraic expressions and geometric transformations, making them easier to visualize and manipulate. This method encourages students to think in terms of shapes, transformations, and relationships rather than just abstract symbols, fostering a deeper conceptual grasp of mathematical principles. It's particularly influential in teaching abstract algebra and geometry, promoting problem-solving skills through visual and intuitive reasoning.
